Quick Start

Installation

pip install delve-taxonomy

# Set API keys
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"  # Required for classifier embeddings

CLI

# Basic usage (shows progress spinners)
delve run data.csv --text-column text

# With progress bars and ETA
delve run data.csv --text-column text -v

# Quiet mode (errors only)
delve run data.csv --text-column text -q

# JSON with nested data
delve run data.json --json-path "$.messages[*].content"

Python SDK

from delve import Delve, Verbosity

# Initialize client (silent by default - library best practice)
delve = Delve()

# Or with progress output
delve = Delve(verbosity=Verbosity.NORMAL)

# Run taxonomy generation
result = delve.run_sync("data.csv", text_column="text")

# Access results
print(f"Generated {len(result.taxonomy)} categories")
for category in result.taxonomy:
    print(f"  - {category.name}: {category.description}")

# Access labeled documents
for doc in result.labeled_documents[:5]:
    print(f"  [{doc.category}] {doc.content[:50]}...")

Binary Detection (Single Category)

For fast filtering when you know the category you're looking for:

from delve import Delve

# Find all refund-related documents (~$1-2 for 30K docs, runs in minutes)
result = Delve.find_matches(
    "data.csv",
    category={
        "name": "Refund Request",
        "description": "User asking for refund or money back",
        "keywords": ["refund", "money back", "cancel"],
    },
    text_column="text",
    threshold=0.6,
)

print(f"Found {result.stats['matches']} matches")
for doc in result.matched_documents[:5]:
    print(f"  [{doc.confidence:.2f}] {doc.content[:50]}...")

Features

• Automated Taxonomy Generation - No manual category creation using Claude 3.5 Sonnet
• Binary Detection - Fast, cheap single-category filtering with find_matches()
• Multiple Data Sources - CSV, JSON/JSONL, LangSmith runs, pandas DataFrames
• Smart Categorization - Iterative refinement with minibatch clustering
• Flexible Exports - JSON, CSV, and Markdown reports

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• Anthropic API key (for taxonomy generation)
• OpenAI API key (for classifier embeddings when sample_size > 0)
